>> the show may be over. the conversation continues on aljazeera.com/considerthis on our our facebook or google+ pages. see you next time. david kato >> good evening, everyone. welcome to al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. >> i sincerely believe that senate bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. >> final decision after weeks of controversy - arizona's governor vooetos the bill that would have legalized discrimination against gay people. >> breach of trust - a scathing report on misconduct in the military, with hundreds of

soldiers accused. >> sea of suffering - the pictures of a refugee camp is haunting. wait until you hear the story behind it. >> a surprise discovery by n.a.s.a. scientists that may change the way we all look at the universe. >> we begin with the arizona showdown over gay rights and the bill that critics said amounted to state-sanctioned discrimination. it would have allowed business owners to site relief to gays and lesbians. jan brewer announced her decision to veto it this morning. >> after weighing the arguments i vetoed senate bill 1062 moments ago. to the supporters of the legislation i want you to know that long-held norms about marriage and family are being

challenged like never before. our society is undergoing many dramatic changes. however, i sincerely believe that senate bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. it could divide arizona in ways no one can imagine and no one would want. religious liberty is a core american and arizona value. so is nondiscrimination. going forward, let's turn the ugliness of the debate over senate bill 1062 into a renewed search into greater respect and understanding among all arizonans and americans. >> opponents say it was the right decision, supporters say it's a sad day. for arizonans that cherish

individuality. ethan orr, one of three republicans that voted against the bill. did you get the decision you wanted? >> i did. i'm respectful of the decision and the way the governor came to the conclusion. she met with myself and others that opposed the bill, but i know earlier she met with supporters of the bill, it was deliberate and well thought out. >> when she mentioned the ugliness of the debate, what do you think she was talking about? >> i voted against it, believing it the a bad bill. it took on a larger dynamic. in many ways the perception became the reality, feeding the ugly posse ugliness. i didn't believe there was malintent on behalf of the people that sponsored the bill. now that it's over i'm trying to

bring everyone together. >> you think there'll be no more bills like this in the arizona legislature. >> not in this investigatisessi. >> what is to prevent another coming up? >> there's nothing. the people that supported the bill from chastised in realising you need to work with the business community, reach across the aisle and bring everyone together. i think there's an appetite to do anything like this soon. >> i spoke to a gay business owner from phoenix. he owns a hotel and thinks the damage has been done to arizona. what do you think? >> there's certainly economic damage. i gave the governor letters from hotels throughout the state and in my district that had people cancel their trips. that's where i talk about the reception became the reality.

people were losing business on the threat of this law coming to fruition. >> what have critics said about your vote? >> people said i did not defend religious liberty. that is not the case. i believe the bill is convoluted and it opens a pandora's box that could lead to discrimination. it was poorly crafted and poorly conceived. >> are critics trying to run you out of office. >> yes, people have been threatening to run against me for a while. i will always put policy above politics. if i were to lose because of this or any other vote. i can leave with my head hold high. >> when the governor walked out of the room, there were a lot of reporters. it took her a number of days to reach this decision. why did it take so long?

>> part of it, she was at the governor conference and she just got back in town. this was an opportunity for her to weigh out the facts. she had five days, we had until sunday. i think her taking her time to make the right decision is better than a speedy wrong decision. >> she said they believe in religious liberty, but also in nondiscrimination. what is she getting at. you said that the bill was not necessarily about discrimination, right? >> i did >> so what do you think she was saying? >> well, i think it's reiterating the fact. i think this was a potential black eye for the state. perception became reality, the bill was not intended to do it but people perceived it would do that. we needed to set things right, this is not the arizona we are or want to be.

it's not an arizona that divides along class or sexual orientation. this is an arizona where we bring everyone to the table. >> representative ethan orr, good to have you on the program. thank you for joining us. >> arizona is not the only state making news over gay rights. a federal judge struck down a ban on same-sex marriage saying it deprived same-sex couples equal application under the law, but he stayed the moghts pending the appeal. governor rick perry was quick to crisis the recalling issuing this statement: >> georgia is considering a bill that is nearly identical to the one in arizona, that the governor vetoed. atlanta's mayor spoke out against the bill, as has delta.

the state senate can vote as early as monday. >> hundreds of soldiers disdisqualify from sensitive possessions >> sensitive position, that's how the army describes it. what they mean by that is people within the service helped soldiers cope with issues like sexual assault. the army is missing tonight. the number of personal have been disqualified. the number is far greater than they previously admitted. >> last summer the army was suspending 5 sexual assault counsellors. to child abuse drunk driving. the army went further, combing through the records of 20,000

soldiers, disqualifying 588 in total. that's a 10-fold increase. in a statement the army ensures that those in position of personal trust has the right tools, skills and backgrounds. we will continue working to better ensure that we select the best people. hanks said she was assaulted by lieutenant colonel james wilkerson when he was an f-16 combat pilot at the airbase in italy. >> i opened my eye, and he was in bed with me with his hands down my pants. >> lieutenant colonel james wilkerson was convicted, stripped of his rank and sent to a year in prison. lieutenant colonel james wilkerson's boss dismissed the verdict, as military rules allow, and set lieutenant colonel james wilkerson free. the figures on sexual assault in

the military make for graham reading. there are 19,000 sexual assaults, 3,000 report and 1600 actionable. a senate panel explored the issue. many are afraid to ask superiors for help for fear of being publicly shamed. >> i ask each of you to stand with survivors, and take a proactive step. >> the truth was at that point i had to google what to do when it happened to me. i experienced the flaws in repercussions. >> advocates want reforms ending the rights of commanders to overturn vert icts. >> the military justice system is based on individual recession of a single commander.

until you remove the bias and conflict of interest outside the chain of command, you will never have justice. >> of the 558 soldiers who have been disqualified, the pentagon is reported to be seeking to get rid of 79 of them. >> how deep is this problem? >> it's a story that will continue to run. >> thank you. tonight reports that 13 workers at an underground new mexico nuclear waste facility were exposed to radiation, coming from the u.s. department of energy, saying the employees tested positive after a leak. elevated radiation levels were detected at the plant. authorities say it's too low to be a health threat. >> to ukraine - the leaders of ousted president viktor yanukovych are poised to take the reins. not everyone backed the new

leadership. those divisions were clear on the streets of crimea reason, fights between pro-russian demonstrators and the supporters. russia is conducting drills near the bodder. but they say it is not related to what is happening in kiev. any military action would be a grave speak. ukraine's parliament decided whether to approve the interim government. they were announced in kiev. tim friend is in kiev. >> in a freezing independence square, the politicians would be forced to consult the people who believe they have achieved a resolution in ukraine. for those pitching to be part, this is more than symbolic. some cheers and a few cheers for

the leader of yulia tymoschenko fathership party. >> translation: it's sufficient. people are united, together. the most important thing is they are engaged in the process of decision making. >> translation: we believe that maydan fulfilled his role. may dan is not going home tore dissolving. we have to stand for what we want. they act according to our wishes. that's how we get the future we want. >> if anyone thought following the political demise of viktor yanukovych, they could afford to ignore the views of the people in the square, they'd be playing a dangerous game. suspicion and distrust with the political class in ukraine is rampant. the public needs to be reassured that things are changing. >> one graphic example - the fence removed outside

parliament. for the demonstrators, it represented the gulf between corrupt leadership and citizens. >> there is a lot of evil on the fence. people can have access everywhere, and to the deputies. deputies will no longer be like mice, going into a mouse trap. the fellow jordan president has been advising some politicians. >> every week they'll be able to tell people, "this week we did this." the other week we stop police abusing businesses, and go through a corrupt former officials. they have to deliver stuff. they are desperate. >> the morning for the dead goes on. more than 100 during three months of protest. the hated wry at police are d

disbanded and the attorney-general ordered a search for yaviktor yanukovych. he may have already made his escape. >> now for the unrest. opposition leaders are refusing to negotiate. female opposition supporters dressed in white marched in silence, carrying pictures of those abused. daniel schweimler has the latest. >> it was a peaceful protest. there was anger. thousand women supporters of the opposition marched to a military headquarters to call for an end to repress, blamed on the authorities. >> we are fighting for every victim, every young person who fell. they didn't die because of what's happening now, but all that has been happening for a

long time in the country. the mothers of those that decide on the government side is suffering the same as us. >> yanet frias's son was the first killed when there were protests in venezuela about rising crime and inflation. the protests continue. they are mourning the dead. >> we can't find food, medicine. the hospitals are shutting down. i have two young boys. i can't take them to the movies. we are robbed at the movies. why is this happening? >> the march is led by lilian tintori, the wife of leopoldo lopez, and was joined by the national deputy maria corina marchado, who called for a minute's silence before crosses in memory of the victims were laid at the barracks.

it was a tense standoff. >> every day it's more apparent and obvious. the violence appears to have abated. there appears to be little room for dialogue, less for compromise. a few blocks away agricultural workers marched in support of nicolas maduro's government. each day by different sectors of society. >> we reject all the vandalism in venezuela. this is a land of peace, of love. we want tonne end to the demonstrations. what we want is bread to produce food, to live in harmony. >> the president called for dialogue. it is not clear who will talk to him. the opposition slogan reads, "the first to tire will lose",

fight against the law. welcome. >> thank you. >> what has it been like to have your name published in ta newspaper like this? >> my name has been published by self different newspapers. i am published though i am openly gay. it comes with a different dynamics and fears. you receive phone calls hate phone calls, emails, and you don't know who has seen you, read about you and who is king to act on that. for me that is the fear that comes with being published. >> when you say act on that, what do you mean? >> the fear is i don't know who will act or attack me. the biggest mere is my friends

who are straight are also attacked because of me appearing in the newspapers. >> your friend, david kato, a gay activist, he was murtedered after his name was printed in the caper. it must be not just the people whose names have been printed, but everywhere who is gay in uganda, are they thinking about leaving? >> most of my friends who have been printed in a newspaper are afraid for their lives. some are thinking about leaving uganda. most of the people i know, and people i work with, they are strong and saying they'd rather die than leave. this is our country. you met with samantha powers yesterday. what did you talk about. >> discussions with the u.s. ambassador was around the antigay law that has been passed

questioning do we need this legislation, do we need all the problems and attention on uganda. >> don't you have to convince the people, and how do you do that? >> it's difficult, uganda is largely christian, and most especially extreme evan gel calls travelled and came here and told uganda that homosexuals are evil, it's a western rule. they are recruiting children and promoting homosexuality. >> it is difficult to tell them we are normal people. >> thank you for talking to us. >> well, clear and convincing evidence of the suffering in syria, in the form of this

picture. an extraordinary picture of palestine refugees lining up for food. it was released by the united nations work agency. chris guniss is a spokesman talking about the image in tonight's first person report. >> as you can see from the iconic image, as far as the eye can see there are count, pallid figures, deprived of life. food, water, medicine, heat and warmth in a cruel winter that we have seen. what they describe is a portrait of intense and profound tragic civilian suffering. we have reports of women dying in child care, women and infants with malnutrition, and people in

the 21st senture in the capital city reduced to eating animal seed. things are so desperate. baby halid came to us with his mother, 14 months old. he looked like a 5-month-old baby, and the doctor that treated him said he'd die. after a month of proper food, vit men's and dietary supplements, he's about the right size, the size of a 14-month old baby. there are camps that are unaccessible. and at yarmouk it beggars belief. we can only hope and pray that things are not as bad in other places. that would be against rational
